lt didn't talce us long to become oriented, and to seek for membership in clubs. We became nursery rhyme characters for a day and won the purple and gold Agatha bar. Lucy D'Agostino and Eleanor Allocca proved that one doesn,t need a pointed head to wear the Arista dunce cap. Those who were able to read shorthand notes baclc were awarded the light blue ribbon of Alpha. As we advanced in nerve, in age, and in wisdom, many of us devel- oped talents that we never lcnew we had. The aspiring writers congratu- lated Suzanne Miller, the first of us to get a poem into Cardinal. There was Rosalie Katz with her infectious giggle and her warm-hearted stories to help brighten the staff members when they were weary of reading manuscripts. Evelyn Kings stories and art worlc gave our magazine a truly professional touch. Eleanor Cohen and Julia Marenghi, two of our Cardinal artists, helped to give distinction to Cardinal. The guidance ol Mrs, Vvunnenberg, Miss lVlcEntee, Miss McKenna, and Mr. Nathanson. helped to lmit all the three staffs into one thriving organization. We were proud of Eleanor Castellano and Jean Haubold in the bright red ribbons ot the Usher Squad. While their ellliciency tool: care of the audience, Marilyn Von Freuden and the baclc stage club became the unseen performers at our plays and other activities. When we made the discovery that Agnes Comislcy was a whiz at boolclceeping, we drafted her to loolc after our accumulated CLO. fortune. We uncovered the mystery of Minerva at the fabulous fashion show, when Jeanette Burnett, Rita Ericlcson, Ann Villani, and Anita Palazzo, together with so many other C.D. students, won applause for their original creations. A proud day came when we read in the World Telegram that Devote Hanrahan had been chosen TEEN OF THE WEEK. It was at the same time that Eunice Lugo of story-telling fame decided to graduate in three and a half years and to join our class. With our Senior term came many honors, along with shiny buttons and senior thrills. Little Connie Chunga climbed to head Big Sister. a smiling little Big Sister, who was still ready to run her feet olf for anyone at any time. At the Prom we loolced at the mature young ladies and tried to recognize in them the bobby soxers of yesterday. It has been a wonderful four years, every hour ol it. and we shall go from Prospect Heights a little wiser, and a good deal better prepared to talce our places in the world than we were when we entered it.
